Still hurts this morning. Beautiful day today and there is Cronulla Spring Festival.

Will go out, recharge and enjoy the day and we will be back at it next week.

Whatever happens: Up Up Cronulla

 

[Thresher]

truly gutted last night
and was like this is it - the season has gone.

this morning woke up to nIcho's insta story post... and thought...

why the **** not -
View attachment 27689

it hurts but will be ready for next week i'm sure
they will be up for whatever. lets leave it to the boys and the coaching staff.

I fly out for portugal tomorrow for a couple weeks- don't know if I can have beers when the game is on due to time difference - but I will be streaming! and still having a beer or something in the morning!


I was hoping they win last night so I fly back in time for prelim
oh well
all the best and enjoy the week! stay safe everyone

If the Roosters get up today hopefully you get to dine out on some Portugese chicken

 

[Proud Shark]

Maybe we’ll get lucky and he’ll be inspired to step up again by a near death experience.
While I’d still be happy not to retain him and rather start Teig there thought a more Wade-like game this week

I though he had a decent game last night too.

I thought so too. We were fired up with him.

 

[Shortfin Mako]

So that’s 2 games the bunker gifted to the Cowboys this year.

 

[Greg86]

Still down this morning, should of captain challenge the field goal and ask if he played it with his foot. Would instantly kill their celebrations to. Also you are then going to the lottery of the bunker.

Was a good game back and forth, unlucky in some areas.

This loss is still stinging.

Really feel as though that grand final window has now closed.

Still waiting to here our Chad's take on the game , sitting at ground level

I feel the same way, we’re just on the wrong side of the draw now. Absolutely seething we threw it away yesterday.

 

[kotwben]

It's borderline comedy that one side of the draw is Parra / Raiders / Cowboys and the other has Penrith / Souths and Roosters / Cronulla.

It's just typical Cronulla.

 

[Shortfin Mako]

Please

But why? No matter how we played, it doesn’t change the fact that bunker was awful last night and all of their decisions went against us. Maybe calling it gifted is a bit of a stretch but Cowboys seem to be the beneficiaries of those decisions.

Still gutted egg, maybe I’ll write some things down later. Right now, the lawns await!

I think what HB is saying mate is if we had held the ball and not defended so poorly then the bunker doesn’t matter. Very good teams overcome this. We are a good team but not very good. Yet.

I agree that the bunker is awful at times but there were at least half a dozen other reasons outside of the officiating that lost us that game.

One for instance right at the end Nicho put up a bomb that was way too shallow. I would have thought the best kick at that time was a lower trajectory one that would pin them in the corner.

I never thought this was our year, but when you realise one of Cows, Parra and Raiders will definitely make the grand final now...

All true but the killer was the 10M penalty that piggy backed them out of trouble when trailing by 8 .

There were two 10 M penalties in the match - both against us in a match where 20 could of been awarded to either side - the one I mentioned above stung …

Oh, I agree with all that.

All I am saying is that if the bunker was fair, even with all of our mistakes, we would have won. The bunker tips the scales one way too much sometimes (in other games too, not just ours).

Oh well, onwards and upwards and Up Up Cronulla.
